SB 633 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to certain offenses associated with possessing, carrying, exhibiting, or using a firearm on or within 1,000 feet of school property.

SB 633 makes it a criminal offense to intentionally show, use, or threaten to show/use a firearm within 1,000 feet of school property (including parking lots and other school-owned areas) or on a school bus. This law directly affects individuals near schools, such as students, parents, or visitors, who may carry or threaten firearms in these zones. Key provisions define the offense broadly to cover both actual firearm use and threats, with penalties under Texas Penal Code. The bill expands existing restrictions to include all school property boundaries and school bus routes, creating a clearer criminal standard for firearm activity near educational facilities.
